I have observed that most people want to train intelligently and effectively, but many make the same mistakes, which may be preventing them from achieving the desired results.

If I had to sort out these mistakes by starting with the most common and pernicious ones, I would not get enough rest, thinking that the most important thing is the weight that moves or that running a lot of time at a gentle pace is the best way to burn fat.

## Training is as necessary as resting

It is normal to see people in the gyms who train more and more until they reach the results, even thinking that if they don't progress it is because they don't train enough. Some begin training three days a week until they stagnate and, instead of modifying the training, continue to do the same thing four days a week, significantly increasing stimulation and reducing recovery. And then, they go up to five, six or even every day of the week, showing a great predisposition for sacrifice, but a lot of lack of information. This is the most serious and common mistake.

Adaptation, and therefore progress, is achieved when your body has fully recovered from previous training, and therefore, if you return to training before you have recovered, you will never evolve. Not only is there fatigue in the tissues worked, but also in the nervous system, and this, in addition to requiring more recovery time, we use it in all types of training, although it has nothing to do with the exercises performed on the last day.

## Technique is more important than weight

Maintaining a strict and constant technique, in addition to avoiding injuries, ensures that all stress falls on certain fibres, forcing the body to cause adaptation. If you alter the technique you will divide the stress as you go in search of fresh fibers. This goes very well if you are being chased by a gorilla and you have to climb to the top of the trees so that it doesn't eat you, but not in case you want to cause an adaptation in some specific muscles and fibers.

## How to Run for Fat

We know that high intensity intervallic training (HIIT) results in higher energy consumption in the long term and takes much less time than continuous running. Those who defend the continuous race are based on the idea that during sport the consumption of fat is higher, but do not take into account the residual thermal effect or post training energy consumption.

In addition, the HIIT generates a hormonal framework favourable for strength training and/or hypertrophy, in contrast to the long-duration race. It also causes much less cellular oxidation and aging and saves time, which helps the sustainability and profitability of the system.
